Boston Celtics superstar center Kristaps Porzingis will be missing another game tonight, his 21st of the year. His inability to be available has some fans considering moving on from the big man. Here are some trades that would have the C’s say goodbye to Porzingis.
Brooklyn Nets get: Kristaps Porzingis
Boston Celtics get: Nic Claxton
This center-for-center trade could be a win-win for both sides. The Celtics get a center who has played double the amount of games Porzingis has, and he is a great lob threat and rim protector. The Nets get a trade chip that could net them a bunch of picks from a playoff team that needs a big man.
Toronto Raptors get: Kristaps Porzingis
Boston Celtics get: Jakob Poeltl, Ochai Abaji
This trade gives the Raptors a superstar to pair with Gradey Dick and Scottie Barnes, to get them back to a playoff level team. It also gives the Celtics an available center, needed wing depth, and cuts down their payroll.
Utah Jazz get: Kristaps Porzingis
Boston Celtics get: John Collins
This is the same as the Nets trade. C’s get an available center, Jazz gets trade chip to help rebuild team.
Chicago Bulls get: Kristaps Porzingis
Boston Celtics get: Nikola Vucevic, Torrey Craig
This trade is the same as the Raptors one. C’s get available center and more wing depth, and Bulls get a superstar to pair with their others.
